Mike Hayes:  Local Legend pt. 2

This is part 1 of 2 conversations with Greg Parmeter and Nic Barilar from the UW-L Theater and Dance department. 

Their latest production is Dr, Faustus by Christopher Marlowe.  This is the original "sell your soul to the devil" story.  And just in time for Halloween.  We'll talk about UW-L's Theater and Dance program, Marlowe, the never ending timeliness of Faustus and possibly, what's your soul worth nowadays, anyway? 

Thanks for being part of the conversation.

Steppin Out In Pink 2023 with Kirsten Bucher

What a tale these two old pals have to share with you.  Ben Skinner and Chris Barton were born and raised right here in La Crosse.  They fell in love with the restaurant world here in town and as their talents grew they moved to Minneapolis and then Seattle.  But restaurants can be brutal places to work, and they each have the scars to prove it.  So, they came back home and thought "Hey....why don't we put restaurant quality food in jars?".  So was born Paulin's Provisions.  If you like delicious food, bawdy laughter and straight forward social commentary, you'll love this conversation.
